Fifteen years ago this month the Federal Government under the auspicies of "saving the children" launched an assault on the Branch Davidian compound in Waco Texas. 76 people including 21 children died in the ensuing fire set by the Branch Davidians. While I hold the adult men in the compound responsible for those deaths, Janet Reno's claim of being motivated to save the children appeared more an excuse to cover the ineptness of her department.
Fifteen Aprils later, it's the state of Texas making the child rescue claim while seeking sex-offending men. But after 10 days some 419 children are the only people in custody. It appears the same level of ineptness is in play.
